A family friend identified the injured teen as Tyler Clugh. Pam Kuxhouse said Tyler was playing with friends, being towed on the sled behind a four-wheeler in the nice weather Thursday afternoon.

Kuxhouse said the sled struck a fence at Double Springs Baptist Church on Holbert Mountain Road in the southern part of Henderson County, near the South Carolina state line.

Capt. Frank Stout of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office said a medical transport helicopter from South Carolina was called to airlift the boy for treatment. Kuxhouse said the teenager was thought to have a possible lung injury and was being evaluated at Greenville Memorial Hospital.

Green River Volunteer Fire & Rescue was called to the scene to assist the teenager, but a Green River firefighter contacted by the Times-News was not able to discuss the extent of the young man's injuries.
